El valor de la mercancía artística. Doce tesis sobre el trabajo humano, el deseo mimético y la vitalidad

Abstract

Keywords Marx Theory Artwork Gift AnimismThe difficulty to know how to calculate the market value of an artwork lies on a simple fact: we don't know where its value comes from. we may accept that art does have value, but we can't find a common ground to explain why an artwork has more value than other. Through twelve theses, which recover Marx's value theory by understanding artworks as commodities, this text provides a response to the question: where does the value of an artwork lie? E ven if Karl Marx's theory of labor value was not developed with the commodity of art in mind, it lends itself to being reapplied in the close consideration of the processes by which value is generated in the field. It is of course difficult for an artwork to shed its commodity status. Indeed, it possesses a unique characteristic by means of which it distinguishes itself from other goods: as a result of the ability to perceive the process by which they were produced, artistic works are permanently loaded with life, and in such a way that the questions of livelihood and the construction of value are inseparable.
